Deker 3,450 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Can someone please tell me what the SILVER fittings are called on the attached picture, and if possible where I can buy them! I have found Offset versions but want them straight as shown, they obviously exist but I can't track them down. This is part of a shower wall fitting. MANY THANKS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 25,151 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Think they are the same thread as a standard tap mate, just get the plastic securing nut from a tap and see if it will screw on, if it does then any standard tap fixing should do,probably bath tap not sink one of these flexi,S will have both threads depending on what your trying to achieve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 5,945 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Is it not just a back plate for a bar/mixer shower? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Screw fix website would be a good place for a quick search, and though it may sound obvious can you not just take the two off the back plate you already have looks like a radiator key fits in the inside to undo it, then just screw them into a flexi tap connector and your away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
